Route 66 Pick

Three for three go the Cards on Day 1 of the 2015 Draft. Bryce Denton is committed to Vanderbilt but St. Louis has never shied away from tough signs before. He reminds me of Carson Kelly and was announced as a 3B option!

One of the great things about following the minors as closely as I do is watching the draft picks move up the ranks. It seems like it has been awhile since St. Louis took a high upside guy early so let’s see what a little scan of previous selections says about the newest Cardinal, Nick [...]

Comp. Balance A

Cardinals step outside the box and add more young talent with Florida HS RHP Jake Woodford. He is committed to the Gators but getting selected at #39 by St. Louis will present a life-changing opportunity.

With the 23rd Pick

After a run on shortstops dominated the first 20 picks, it was time for the arms to take center stage. The Cardinals had their pick of highly touted college RHP and go in the complete other direction! Welcome HS OF Nick Plummer to the St. Louis family and follow him on Twitter!

A Player Worth Watching

If you recall, way back at the beginning of the season, I did a season preview podcast with my good friend Dan Buffa. Towards the end of the show I asked Dan which non-Cardinal he’d want to watch play, be it on TV or in person. He responded, and rightfully so, with Mike Stanton. Stanton’s [...]

The Machine Rolls On

Five games to recap, so let’s forget the attempt at witty banter and get right to it, shall we? Wednesday (7-4 win vs. Milwaukee) Hero: Matt Carpenter.  Two for four with a couple of RBI and a run scored. Goat: Randal Grichuk.  0-4 with two strikeouts and a double play. Notes: There’s a baseball saying [...]
